When is digital going to get the soul of music?

Digital has an edge that has not been overcome yet. It's hard to explain, but as much as SACD and DVD-A have improved on resolution, that digital edge is still there. When I put an LP on, it's a whole nother world.

For those that enjoy digital and don't hear this, then you get to listen the more convenient media and enjoy it without all of the little inconveniences. I still enjoy digital (redbook and SACD), but analog has a transparency and lushness that I haven't heard with digital.

I stand corrected c5150,

Hmmm...
Odd thread that won't die here.
The old interminable and unresolvable LP versus digital car stereo argument. :)

FWIW, I have an Ecilpse car stereo CD player with Ecilpse separates.
Sounds fanastic.
I have a decent turntable front end which I truly enjoy.
I have a nice digital source I also really like.
I have a 20 Gig IPOD with wonderful 15$ Koss KSC 35
headphones which sounds great.
In the end it is about the music to me. All of the above do a great job.

If you truly dislike digital as a medium, then move along as there is another forum called Analog that might suit you better.
We here on the Digital forum generally enjoy digital.
If you are trolling, then you have wasted enough bandwidth for one thread.
Good luck.

I guess these discussions must get personal? Boa2, I like how you signed yours with Aires. It seems like if one doesn't like the message, we kill the messenger? I'm not sure I'm putting out a message. I also think that it's about time a discussion like this takes place.

What I meant Boa2 was that the top ten interconnects were going to heavily favor older ones that have been superceded recently. I wanted to give a balance to someone who might use the answers for a purchase decision.
